NERF52832 having both beacon transmitter and receiver in a single chip

[AkshayEnmaz]

I want to have a single device that can both transmit and receive beacon packets using nrf52832. 

Project Idea

Need to identify RSSI level of beacons around a device while also advertising itself as-well 

Help required

1) Is it possible to realise the above in a single nrf52832, if not which ic would be better?

2) Any example code/documentation which explains the same

It would have been a very comprehensive SDK if it should include example code for every customer's use-case.

To save you some work, I have created an example combining the scanning from ble_app_beacon_c and advertising from ble_app_beacon example. It will report any advertising packet received, not just iBeacons. You must do the work to parse the advertising data to get the relevant packets for your use-case.

Hello,

I know this topic is old, and doesn't use the same SDK I'm using (17.0.2) but I'm very interested in the posted code. When compiling I am getting the following error:

Output/Release/Obj/ble_app_blinky_c_pca10056_s140/ses_startup_nrf_common.o: in function `InitializeUserMemorySections'

How could I solve this? I intend to read the advertising from nearby devices, and retransmit these advertising with a higher power on the tx.

Furthermore, I noticed that the code scans, but does not print or store these advertising, what could I change in the code to accomplish what I intend? Thank you very much!
